Jenèz 50

1 Jozèf lage kò l' sou papa l', li kriye kont li, li bo l' nan figi.

And Joseph fell upon his father's face, and wept on him, and kissed him.

2 Apre sa, Jozèf rele dòktè ki t'ap sèvi l' yo, li fè yo pare kadav la. Se sa menm dòktè yo fè.

And Joseph commanded his servants the embalmers to embalm his father; and the embalmers embalmed Israel.

3 Yo pran karant jou pou pare kadav la jan yo konn fè l' la. Apre sa, moun peyi Lejip yo pase swasanndi jou ap kriye pou li.

And they fulfilled forty days for him, for so are the days of embalming numbered; and Egypt mourned for him seventy days.

4 Lè tout swasanndi jou yo fin pase, jou pou antèman an rive. Jozèf pale ak moun lakay farawon yo, li di yo konsa: -Tanpri souple, rann mwen sèvis sa a. Pote komisyon sa a bay farawon an pou mwen.

And when the days of mourning were past, Joseph spoke to the princes of Pharao, saying, If I have found favor in your sight, speak concerning me in the ears of Pharao, saying,

5 Di l' pou mwen: Anvan papa m' te mouri li te fè m' sèmante pou m' te antere l' nan kavo li te fè pare pou li nan peyi Kanaran. Tanpri, kite m' moute al antere papa m'. Apre sa, m'a tounen.

My father adjured me, saying, In the sepulchre which I dug for myself in the land of Chanaan, there you shall bury me; now then I will go up and bury my father, and return again.

6 Farawon an voye reponn li: -Ou mèt al antere papa ou, jan ou te sèmante ba li a.

And Pharao said to Joseph, Go up, bury your father, as he constrained you to swear.

7 Se konsa Jozèf moute al antere papa l'. tout moun lakay farawon yo, tout chèf ak tout notab peyi Lejip yo ale ak li,

So Joseph went up to bury his father; and all the servants of Pharao went up with him, and the elders of his house, and all the elders of the land of Egypt.

8 ansanm ak tout fanmi Jozèf yo, frè l' yo, ak tout fanmi papa l' yo. Men yo te kite tout timoun piti yo Gochenn ansanm ak bèt yo, mouton, kabrit ak bèf.

And all the household of Joseph, and his brethren, and all the house of his father, and his kindred; and they left behind the sheep and the oxen in the land of Gesem.

9 Te gen anpil cha ak anpil kavalye sou chwal ki t ale avek li. Kifè pa t' manke moun nan lantèman an.

And there went up with him also chariots and horsemen; and there was a very great company.

10 Lè yo rive nan glasi Atad ki lòt bò larivyè Jouden, kote sòlèy leve a, yo pran rele byen fò. Jozèf te fè yo fè sèvis la pandan sèt jou pou papa l'.

And they came to the threshing floor of Atad, which is beyond Jordan; and they bewailed him with a great and very sore lamentation; and he made a mourning for his father seven days.

11 Lè moun peyi Kanaran yo wè sèvis lantèman yo t'ap fè Atad la, yo di: -Ala yon grannèg ki mouri lakay moun peyi Lejip yo papa! Se poutèt sa yo rele glasi ki lòt bò larivyè Jouden an: Glasi lapenn moun peyi Lejip yo.

And the inhabitants of the land of Chanaan saw the mourning at the floor of Atad, and said, This is a great mourning to the Egyptians; therefore he called its name, The mourning of Egypt, which is beyond Jordan.

12 Konsa, pitit gason Jakòb yo te fè jan papa yo te ba yo lòd fè a.

And thus his sons did to him.

13 Yo pote kadav li nan peyi Kanaran, yo antere l' nan twou wòch ki te nan jaden Makpela a, anfas Manmre. Se jaden sa a Abraram te achte nan men Efwon, moun Et la, pou sèvi l' simityè.

So his sons carried him up into the land of Chanaan, and buried him in the double cave, which cave Abraam bought for possession of a burying place, of Ephrom the Chettite, before Mambre.

14 Apre Jozèf fin antere papa l', li tounen Lejip ansanm ak frè l' yo ak tout moun ki te moute avè l' pou lantèman papa l' la.

And Joseph returned to Egypt, he and his brethren, and those that had gone up with him to bury his father.

15 Apre lanmò papa yo, frè Jozèf yo di: -Ou pa janm konnen. Jozèf ka kenbe nou nan kè, li ka fè nou peye tout sa nou te fè l' yo.

And when the brethren of Joseph saw that their father was dead, they said, [Let us take heed], lest at any time Joseph remember evil against us, and recompense to us all the evils which we have done against him.

16 Se konsa yo voye di Jozèf: -Men komisyon papa te ban nou pou ou anvan l' te mouri:

And they came to Joseph, and said, Your father adjured [us] before his death, saying,

17 Men sa n'a di Jozèf pou mwen: Tanpri, padonnen krim frè ou yo te fè ou la. Padonnen peche yo paske yo te fè ou mal anpil. Koulye a atò, tanpri, padonnen mal nou te fè ou la, nou menm k'ap sèvi Bondye papa ou la. Lè Jozèf tande pawòl sa a, li pran kriye.

Thus say you to Joseph, Forgive them their injustice and their sin, forasmuch as they have done you evil; and now pardon the injustice of the servants of the God of your father. And Joseph wept while they spoke to him.

18 Apre sa, frè l' yo vini yo menm menm, yo bese tèt yo jouk atè devan li, yo di l' konsa: -Men nou pote tèt nou pou nou sèvi ou domestik.

And they came to him and said, We, these [persons], are your servants.

19 Jozèf di yo: -Nou pa bezwen pè. Mwen pa kapab pran plas Bondye.

And Joseph said to them, Fear not, for I am God's.

20 Nou te moute konplo pou fè m' mal. Men Bondye fè sa tounen yon byen, pou l' te fè sak rive jòdi a rive, pou l' te ka sove lavi tout kantite moun sa yo.

You took counsel against me for evil, but God took counsel for me for good, that [the matter] might be as [it is] today, and much people might be fed.

21 Non. Nou pa bezwen pè. M'ap okipe nou, nou menm ansanm ak tout pitit nou yo. Se konsa, Jozèf te pale byen ak frè l' yo, li te di yo pawòl ki te touche kè yo, li remoute kouraj yo.

And he said to them, Fear not, I will maintain you, and your families: and he comforted them, and spoke kindly to them.

22 Jozèf te rete nan peyi Lejip ak tout fanmi papa l' yo. Li te gen sandizan (110 an) lè l' mouri.

And Joseph lived in Egypt, he and his brethren, and all the family of his father; and Joseph lived a hundred and ten years.

23 Li te gen tan wè pitit ak pitit pitit Efrayim. Se nan men l' pitit Maki yo te fèt. Maki sa a te pitit Manase.

And Joseph saw the children of Ephraim to the third generation; and the sons of Machir the son of Manasse were borne on the sides of Joseph.

24 Li di frè l' yo konsa: -Mwen pral mouri. Men mwen sèten Bondye gen pou vin ede nou. L'ap fè nou kite peyi sa a, l'ap fè nou tounen nan peyi li te sèmante l'ap bay Abraram, Izarak ak Jakòb la.

And Joseph spoke to his brethren, saying, I die, and God will surely visit you, and will bring you out of this land to the land concerning which God sware to our fathers, Abraam, Isaac, and Jacob.

25 Apre sa, Jozèf fè pitit Izrayèl yo sèmante ba li, li di yo: -Wi, Bondye gen pou vin ede nou. Lè sa a, tanpri, pote zosman m' yo moute ak nou.

And Joseph adjured the sons of Israel, saying, At the visitation with which God shall visit you, then you shall carry up my bones hence with you.

26 Lè Jozèf mouri li te gen sandizan (110 an). Yo benyen kadav la, yo pare l' pou l' pa pouri. Yo mete l' nan yon sèkèy byen fèmen nan peyi Lejip.

And Joseph died, aged an hundred and ten years; and they prepared his corpse, and put him in a coffin in Egypt.
